Polidan (1976) suggested that Be stars showing the CaII IR triplet in emission are interacting binaries. With the advent of the Gaia satellite, which will host a spectrometer to observe stars in the range 8470--8750 \AA, we carried out a spectroscopic survey of 150 Be stars, including Be binaries. We show that the Ca II triplet in emission, often connected with emission in Paschen lines, is an indicator of a peculiar environment in a Be star disc rather than a signature of an interacting binary Be star. However, Ca II emission without visible emission in Paschen lines is observed in interacting binary stars, as well as in peculiar objects. During the survey, a new interacting Be binary - HD 81357 - was discovered.

Properties and nature of Be stars 31. The binary nature, light variability, physical elements, and emission-line changes of HD~81357
HD 81357 is a 33.77-day semi-detached binary at about 63 degrees inclination, with a 3.36 solar-mass B star and a 0.34 solar-mass Roche-lobe-filling cool companion in the late stages of mass exchange.
